The shared video, with over 1.4 million views, captured the moments the Skitmaker appeared on the stage.
Famous for the uproarious #DontLeaveMe skit, Josh2funny seemed to have left the audience, and the judges cracked up with his audition strategy.

Imagine a personality with a mix of the “Fastest Rapper in the World,” the “Fastest Reader in the World,” and the “Best Magician in the World” That was what Josh2Funny brought to the AGT table.
